Lehet, hogy csak valami vicc.
At LinuxCon Europe, Newell officially announced the details during an on-stage question and answer session. The following excerpt announces the exclusive release of Half-Life 3 on Linux:
Audience member: Okay, um. What about Half-Life 3?
[audience laughter]
Newell: Funny you should mention that. I would like to state right now that the next Half-Life game will officially be exclusive on Linux platforms.
[audience cheers]
Newell: Many might say, Gabe, there isn’t a strong enough gamer base on Linux, you will lose money! I do not care about the money. I care about the players. They deserve an unparalleled experience and I intend to give it to them. This release will spark a Linux gaming revolution and will provide a dynamic shift in the developer space that is desperately needed to save everyone from the nightmare that is Windows 8.
Audience member: What if there isn’t a revolution?
Newell: There will be. There has to be. If I didn’t have faith that Linux would take off as a gaming platform, I would not be up here. In fact, we had to restart development when I made the decision to move to Linux. Half-Life 3 for Windows would be finished right now if I did not make that choice.
Audience member: What about iOS?
Newell: Exclusive means exclusive.
Audience member: So, how about a release date?
Newell: Don’t push it.
Hivatalosat sehol se láttam róla.
